Cultural Advice

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains names, images, and voices of deceased persons.

In addition, some articles contain terms or views that were acceptable within mainstream Australian culture in the period in which they were written, but may no longer be considered appropriate.

These articles do not necessarily reflect the views of The Australian National University.

Older articles are being reviewed with a view to bringing them into line with contemporary values but the original text will remain available for historical context.

 

About Faceted Browse

This page provides a more sophisticated browse, allowing repeated filtering by the various categories held in the Australian Dictionary of Biography. Selecting a category and then clicking "Browse" will initiate a browse, listing the various groups within the chosen category along with the number of people matching that category.

You can then click on one of the groups in the list to show all people in the group or you can select another category and then click on the drill icon which will apply the new category only to that group. You can continue to "drill down" in this way to explore the people in the Australian Dictionary of Biography.

The "Browse" button will start a new browse, so be careful to only click on the "Browse" button when you want to start over.
